Cuba Gooding Jr.

His turn as cocky but lovable football player Rod Tidwell in 1996’s Jerry Maguire earned Gooding a Best Supporting Actor trophy. His gushing speech — in which he shouted, “I love you! I love you all!” while leaping around the stage — won him a standing ovation from his peers. But almost none of the dozens of movies he has made since have proved worthy. (Snow Dogs? Daddy Day Camp?? Boat Trip??? Red Tails????) He’s become such a pop culture joke that even 30 Rock felt comfortable enough to take a recent dig at him — Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) says, “I won an Oscar so I can do real art. Begin Snow Dogs phase.”
